Been out of it for awhile and now back in. Is Hopper a good builder as good as any out there at the moment? Other options? Help me before I pull da trigger....

Even better! He knows his stuff and builds a great product. You will not be disappointed.
ya but the neighbors to my left and right may be unhappy! That’s what vehicles are for! Constantly changing locations while running excess wattage....
Tin man amps, I own 2 from him and although I've used them very little I'm very pleased. He's meticulous with his work but I'll say there is a wait so patience is needed.

The patience thing is not my gig. Years ago, since good techs are hard to find, I dropped off a radio to repair and was told 2-4 weeks. One year later I said fug it and went to pick it up. Found it in the exact location I set it in his shop when I dropped it off. Lesson learned, the funny thing is every time I called he said “it’s on the bench Right Now.” Tooooo funny...
Yes Hopper is good. I have a 1x2 built by him not long ago. Once it's built, you won't know the difference between a Hopper or Fatboy...just different labels.
Carl built vs Hopper? Carl's prices are a bit lower for the same basic specs. One question is why such a high stated amp draw for example for a 400HD Stated Max is 110 draw?. At Texas star 500v draws nothing that high. Does b bias calm that amp draw down? What is the difference between these 2 builders in final product, service and turn around time?

Fatboy/Hopper same thing. Don't know anything about Carlbuilt.
Do know that I ran a DaveMade M400 1x4 for years on a 60 amp fuse. I think some guys sling 20 volts and lots of PEP into amps. That's the reasoning behind max amp draw numbers I reckon.

Not sure but I just ordered a hopper straight 6 with b bias, will post pics when I get it hopefully within the next 2 weeks or so.
Well when we are being CB guys! A license never kills a CB guy it only provides more possibilities
